Here is the full text of his statement:

"I am proud of the work that has been done by the Office of the Receiver, along with the commitment of all the stakeholders involved in Harrisburg’s recovery effort, to finding a viable solution to this extremely challenging problem.

“We believe this recovery plan will not only address Harrisburg’s past financial difficulties and substantial debt, but also open the door for future growth, development and financial stability.

“This plan demonstrates that it is possible for all concerned parties to work together in crafting a remedy for Harrisburg’s fiscal crisis, which can hopefully serve as a guide for other financially distressed communities.”
